Meet the Members

Nutritionists create and apply scientific knowledge to promote an understanding of the effects of diet on health and well-being of humans and animals.  Anyone can call themselves a nutritionist but Sense members are all nutritionists whose qualifications are recognised by the Nutrition Society.  Most members are registered with the Nutrition Society either as a Registered Nutritionist or a Registered Public Health Nutritionist.

Some Sense members are Registered Dietitians and they are registered with the Health Professions Council.

Dietitians are clinically trained and often work in a therapeutic role.  They interpret and communicate the science of nutrition to enable people to make informed and practical choices about food and lifestyle, in health and disease.
